Happiness: No Purchase Necessary, Says Study
From Treehugger.com: “According to the latest research, the key to finding happiness is … . in having new experiences … . . The study, which was conducted by psychologists at Cornell University, found that ‘experiences’ are more rewarding than ‘things’ because of the way people tend to evaluate their happiness by comparing themselves with others. For example, it is easier to feel crummy about some possession of yours if you learn that someone else has a superior version of it. Experiences are inherently less comparative.”
